Jeff Conaway’s Life Support To Be Turned Off

[Swede]

A geez.



Jeff Conaway’s family has decided to turn off the actor’s life support machine, RadarOnline.com has learned.

The family, who has kept a vigil at the Los Angeles hospital where he has remained in a coma after being found unconscious at home, were told by doctors the star’s fight for life is over.

"Doctors advised the family that Jeff has had no brain function since he was brought into the hospital," a source close to the situation told RadarOnline.com

1. What a shame.

He was so handsome and talented. What a waste.

RIP, Kenickie.

2. Ah, no. So sad.

I confess to watching the guy on Celeb. Rehab. He was as bad an addict as I've ever seen and he just couldn't do it. I think a lot of people were hoping against hope for a miracle, but he genuinely seemed to want to die.

Man, how fragile we are...

3. That's awful

:( Never watched Taxi, but I loved him on Babylon 5. :(

7. I recently obtained the entire B5 series on dvd

I'm on season 3 now, and Jeff's character is now becoming a significant part of the show. Terrible to think he's dying.

4. Safe passage, Jeff...

Condolences to his family and all who love him...

5. Oh, man. That's so sad.

I loved him in Taxi as Bobby Wheeler. He was talented-and gorgeous, and doing well in his younger days. Then the addiction, Celebrity Rehab--and now this. Poor guy. Well, at least he'll be at peace, maybe for the first time in a long while. RIP Jeff Conaway.

6. Has Bill Frist been consulted?

8. I find it very sad that such a talented and seemingly nice guy had such huge struggles.

This may be one of the few times he's been at peace. :(

9. We watched Grease a couple nights ago...

It was really sad to see Conaway there in his prime, so obviously loving what he was doing, and knowing his final years have been so difficult.

RIP, Jeff.

10. Poor guy, I hope he finds some peace

Addiction is a terrible disease.

11. I didn't even know he was in a coma.

RIP Jeff.

13. he was really great on Babylon 5

which is one of the best sci fi series ever

16. I was rewatching it again recently,

noting how two others had been lost from that show. Richard Biggs died way too young (at 41 or 42, I think) as well as Andreas Katsulas. Now I have to add Jeff to that list.

Rest in Peace, Jeff. We'll remember you, always.

14. It looks as if his ex-girlfriend has blocked it, claiming power of attorney.
